  1. Patchwork Text: Concepts Janet Strivens DPTA Introductory Workshop, Manchester September 13th 2010

  2. Background • Project 1999-2002: led by Richard Winter at Anglia Polytechnic (now Anglia Ruskin) • Other partners: Cambridge, Nottingham Trent • Science education, Greek tragedy, family therapy, dance, teaching, social work, business and management etc. • Special edition of IETI 2003 Vol.40 No. 2 • Curriculum and assessment innovation

  3. Key features • Small group work • Regular short writing tasks, shared with group for feedback (tutor might see sample of tasks) • Typically tasks embodied different genres • Final assessment: reflective, synoptic, ‘stitching together’ of ‘patches’ • Selection from writing tasks (‘patches’) to evidence personal learning and/or achievement of module learning outcomes

  4. Perceived benefits • Continuous workflow during module • Coverage of curriculum through assessment • Rapid feedback (albeit from peers) • The opportunity to see other learners’ responses to the task – aid to self-assessment • Revisiting learning (‘spiral curriculum’) • Integration of learning through reflection • Fostering self-management of learning through ‘meta-cognitive self-reflection on the learning journey ‘

  5. Variables • Number and size of ‘patches’ • ‘Flow’ i.e. are patches cumulative? • Patches revised prior to final submission? • Choice of patches for final submission or not? • Each patch summatively assessed, or only final whole? • Different genres in patches? • Tutor gives feedback on sample, or only peers?

  6. Current practice • Worldwide (see Trevelyan & Wilson) • Move beyond writing to other digital media -> ‘Patchwork Media’ (Arnold, L., T. Williams, and K. Thompson. 2008. Advancing the Patchwork Text: The Development of Patchwork Media Approaches. International Journal of Learning 16 (5):151-166. • Typically making use of e-portfolio technology or similar (see Strivens et al 2010)
